The biggest blind spot in Microsoft 365 security is often Microsoft Teams backup.

Teams has quietly become the operating system of collaboration — where business decisions are documented, projects are coordinated, and compliance records are created in real time. Yet most organizations assume Microsoft’s built-in safeguards are enough. They aren’t.
